With the roadmap to be released soon, addition to Coinbase and Gemini, Bitcoin halving nearing, and new features to be implemented, LTC, the only legit coin besides BTC, will sky-rocket like never before. $50 more than reasonable this year, especially after the ETH catastrophe !!
I think you're right, the spotlight will hit LTC again soon. My best guess is, after the halving and BTC stabilizes roughly double what it was a couple months ago, newbs and investors without as much money will once again look to the "silver" to bitcoin gold. No doubt LTC will shine at that time. Not sure we'll hit $50 though.
